57/4 (only 3 top order bats gone). The key is the lack of bowling depth in the WI attack. At least Gabriel has bowled his first over effectively, though the wicket owes as much to Pietersen's profligacy as it does to Gabriel's hostility.
Gabriel & Sammy will be the critical -- Roach has been very good indeed, but he has to be taken off soon, so he can run in hard on both sides of lunch -- already on his 6th over of the morning. Edwards has been passable but not consistently hostile -- getting one ball in 3 in the right area.
England bat very deep indeed with Swann now @ #11 (and playing havoc with the HHTC), and still the firm favorites -- but a couple more top order wickets before the 100 is up, and it will be match on!
